Not all of us have been blessed with an extensive laser disc collection.
I’m quite deliberately being a prick.
No, what I mean is “I have a bunch of shit to worry about, and getting your stupid pet pop culture reference is pretty low on the list.” If you throw one at me and I get it, then so be it. But acting like everyone is supposed to be a vapid drooling moron who cares more about what justin bieber dumped in the toilet bowl than what is actually going on in this world is not something to aspire to.
jz78817, you’re threadshitting. Stop it. If you don’t think this is important enough to discuss, you don’t have to read or post in the thread.
I love when I see this on a message board, because it shows an hilarious lack of self awareness. Every single one of us on the SDMB has better things to worry about than whatever is said on a message board. It’s like they’re mad that someone is wasting their time-wasting time.
“Mr Monkey, sir, the Russian President is on line one”
“Tell Vlad he can wait! tokindude420 just posted that Attack of the Clones is a better movie than Wrath of Kahn. The American people will not stand for such blatant lies!”
Oh, okay, I’m sorry I don’t worry about the same irrelevant shit as the rest of you on the Smartest Message Board on the Internet. I won’t darken your doorsteps with my presence ever again.
oooo RAGE QUIT!!!11!!eleventy!
but it still isn’t as entertaining as the guy who got ganked with $1000 in PLEX cardsin Eve Online
Promise?
Gosh we’ll miss your…
(Wait, what is it we’re going to miss about jz78817?)
(Oh yeah…)
We’ll miss your clever username.
…and I get Jurassic Park references.
I also watched the first episode of ‘The Man from Uncle’, and can tell you (without using the World Wide Web) not only what U.N.C.L.E. stands for - but also T.H.R.U.S.H. :eek:
United Network Command for Law Enforcement and Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and Subjugation of Humanity.
Well, he’s gone now, so hey, that jz78817, what a tool, heh? Of course it’s not really his fault that he wandered into our dweebish thread. Chaos theory makes it inevitable.
I, as is my right, often wander into discussions I am uninterested in simply to show my superiority to you simpletons. Which is why I always contribute to My Little Pony or boy band threads.
Something something pun on “extinction.”
Enough. jz78817 is an active user as far as we’re concerned (you don’t know if he’s going anywhere), so insults aren’t allowed. Even if he’s leaving the board this isn’t called for.
See, to me, the effects in Jurassic Park actually do still hold up. Sure, they’re not flashy like current movies, but as far as being a completely fabricated animal stuck in live action scenes, they look pretty damn good.
All I know is that when I sat down in the theater to see JP in 1993, I felt like I was seeing real-ass dinosaurs.
Also, the theater was near some train tracks and a big train passed by right during a T-Rex scene and shook the entire building. It was quite the Sensurround experience.
I don’t know. Some people are just idiots. I think the effects in JP still trump a majority of what’s produced today. But, it can be all about just what you’re used to seeing.
Since everyone’s getting so het up about dickery in this thread, I wanted to point out that you could have phrased this better.
AmI the only one who thought post #5 was sarcasm?
Why does Nedry say “no menthol” when Dodgson shows him the shaving cream can (Jurassic Park)?
I always thought was because that “spy toy” can seemed, to Nedry, to have everything else (“all the bells and whistles”).
That uncertainty is a common side effect of reading PSXer’s posts.
